Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries …. <\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Idaho pictographs defaced by graffiti<\/a> – Rrg.<\/li>\n
  2. WWII in colour<\/a> – Not a big fan of colorization of "normal" films — but it can be a useful technique for historic footage (with the assumption that the original B&W is still maintained).<\/li>\n
  3. The Escapist : News : Porn Detection Stick Will Find Your Hidden Stash<\/a> – Eek!<\/li>\n
  4. Did Atlantis Exist? – Answers in Genesis<\/a> – Using Biblical Literalist Science to discuss Atlantis. Um … yeeeeaaahh …<\/li>\n
  5. It’s All About the Ronalds : The New Yorker<\/a> – They could be commemorative! Collect the whole set!<\/li>\n
  6. Light cone<\/a> – This is pretty darned cool. Useless, but cool.<\/li>\n
  7. YouTube Gets Automatic Captioning For All Videos [YouTube]<\/a> – I’m sure there will be errors (some hilarious), but this is still very, very cool.<\/li>\n
  8. Marriage Equality in DC<\/a> – Congrats!<\/li>\n
  9. Manufactured controversy of the day<\/a> – One has to wonder what Orrin Hatch and Bob Bennett think when the GOP Noise Machine turns on (or at least ignores) them.<\/li>\n
  10. Right-wing targets the ‘Gitmo Nine’<\/a> – Money quote: “These lawyers were advocating on behalf of our Constitution and our laws. The detention policies of the Bush administration were unconstitutional and illegal, and no higher a legal authority than the Supreme Court of the United States agreed,” says Ken Gude, a human-rights expert with the Center for American Progress, of the recent assault on the Justice Department. “The disgusting logic of these attacks is that the Supreme Court is in league with al-Qaeda.”<\/li>\n
  11. Judd Gregg has no idea what he’s talking about<\/a> – The problem, he does<\/b> have an idea what he’s talking about. “There’s no incentive for Republicans to tell the truth, just as there’s no consequences for them failing to tell the truth. So, they’ll just keep making stuff up, as Judd Gregg exemplifies.”<\/li>\n
  12. Liz Cheney Falsely Claims Her \u2018Al Qaeda 7\u2019 Smear Ad \u2018Doesn\u2019t Question Anybody\u2019s Loyalty\u2019<\/a> – Liz Cheney is being, um, disingenuous. To put it politely.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
